Iran funds the Sunni Hamas to destroy Israel but when they come knocking on their door it's a different story. Go ask the France for help.
Better make sure you've got plenty of room on those tanks for these democratic senators who voted for the resolution to use force in Iraq back in 2002 if you want to play the partisan blame-game. By the way, one of them is the sitting VP and another the front-running presidential candidate for 2016:

Oh, I'd have no problem strapping some sheepish Democrats to the tanks too. But I do put more of the blame on the ones who told the lie, rather than those who were just dumb enough to believe the lie. So Bush, Cheney and Rice would have to go on those lead tanks. I'd probably put the Democrats out in a field with mine detectors (all with dead batteries) to clear the way.
It's very sad that by "clearing the way for Democracy", all we really did was clear the way for Al Qaeda.
Oh....and right on cue, the illustrious Dick Cheney (love the cowboy hat....nice touch!) with daughter Liz firmly in tow fires a shot across Obama's bow regarding the present circumstances in Iraq (and, no, this is NOT meant to be an SNL skit....although it would be a great one!):
Also right on cue, Obama's outgoing press secretary, Jay Carney, fired a pretty serious salvo back at the former VP in this exchange today at the White House during his final press conference:
Why Cheney refuses to just fade away (as GWB has so graciously done) is beyond me. I guess he just can't stand to stay out of the limelight!
Advisors. They want OUR advice on how to handle things in this shithole? How about this, save the transport of these advisors and Skype the questions to the Pentagon.
And the USA will *help* these AZZHOLES ??
No western country do not want to help those people, but how to ensure cheap oil.
Most of them hate white people and most of us hate them so there has to be a Western army ensuring things.
Sad but true.

5000 years all these people have done is kill each other unless you insert Romans, British, Israelis, and/or Americans then the later become the targets. Rest assured if you leave these people to themselves they will begin to kill each other again it is religious brain farting at it most extreme and it isn't stopping any time soon.
Sunni-Shiite Split Stems From Dispute Over Prophet
The Sunni-Shiite split is rooted in the question of who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad in leading Muslims after his death in 632.
Shiites say the prophet's cousin and son-in-law, Ali, was his rightful successor but he was cheated when authority went to those the Sunnis call the four "Rightfully Guided Caliphs" — Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman and, finally, Ali.
Sunnis are the majority across the Islamic world. In the Middle East, Shiites have strong majorities in Iran, Iraq and Bahrain, with significant communities in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other parts of the Gulf.
Both consider the Quran the word of God. But theology and religious practice distinguish between the two sects.
Some differences are minor: Shiites pray with their hands by their sides, Sunnis with their hands crossed at their chest or stomach.
Others are significant. Shiites, for example, believe Ali and a string of his descendants, the Imams, had not only rightful political authority after Muhammad but also held a special religious wisdom. Most Shiites believe there were 12 Imams — many of them "martyred" by Sunnis — and the 12th vanished, to one day return and restore justice.
Sunnis accuse the Shiites of elevating Ali to the level of Muhammad himself — incorrectly, since Shiites agree that Muhammad was the last of the prophets, a central tenet of Islam.
The bitter disputes of early Islam still resonate. Even secular-minded Shiite parents would never name their child after the resented Abu Bakr, Omar or Othman — or Aisha, a wife of Muhammad who helped raise a revolt against Ali during his Caliphate.
When outgoing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Egypt last year, the sheik of Al-Azhar, the bastion of Sunni theology, told him sharply that if the sects are to get along, Shiites must stop "insulting" the "companions of the prophet."
Still, only the most hard-core translate those differences into hatred. But events in Iraq over the past decade show how politics can cause long-simmering tensions to spike.
The U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime in 2003 propelled long-oppressed majority Shiites to power. Sunnis feared the repression would flip onto them. The result was vicious sectarian fighting that lasted until 2008: Sunni insurgents pulled Shiite pilgrims from buses and gunned them down; Shiite militiamen kidnapped Sunnis, dumping their tortured bodies on the streets and in rivers.
The bloodshed ebbed after the so-called U.S. surge, a revolt by moderate Sunnis against al-Qaida in Iraq and a Shiite militia cease-fire. But violence has again increased as minority Sunnis feel disenfranchised by the Shiite-led government and Sunni extremists have been emboldened by the successes of Islamic militants in the civil war next door in Syria.
